My 14 yr old son got elbowed in the nose playing basketball. It bled and got swollen right away, but he was not in much pain after. I took him for xrays but the doc said it was not broken, and the bump may just be a "knot" on the right side of his nose that will go away. Is that accurate? It's been a little over a week and it still has not gone down. I don't want this to be permanent. Please help.
